About the Role

This isn’t your typical winery tour.

TrailHopper guests enjoy the freedom to hop on and off at selected stops throughout the day, while you continue driving the route. Your role is to guide them through how it all works, help them plan their day, and ensure everyone has a fun, safe, and smooth experience.

You’re not expected to be a traditional tour guide or a wine expert. Guests receive detailed Info Packs and are encouraged to explore at their own pace.

Full training is provided so you’ll feel confident and ready to go.

This is a casual position, typically offering 1-3 days per week (sometimes more), with weekend availability essential.
